FORMS AND LETTERS

(Use for 2014-2015 awards)

The forms required to set up funding for a student’s education-related activities, as well as sample award letters and the documents students should receive with the award letter, are below. Awarding Entities, Department Chairs, and/or School Fellowship Coordinators and Research Staff should use these forms when awarding a fellowship or assistanship to a student.

The following sample packages should be used for students who will receive funding from the Graduate Student Support Budget, endowments, departmental R funds or sponsored projects.

Graduate Research Assistantship: (sponsored research grant-funded or University-funded)

SPONSORED PROJECT FORMAL COST-SHARING AWARDS

The procedures and required forms used to set up a Research Package differ from those for the assistantship and fellowship packages above. Principal Investigators, Sponsored Project Administrators and/or Department Chairs should complete these forms when awarding a research-funded fellowship payment to a student where formal cost-sharing awards is part of the award. (Note: these forms do not apply to graduate students hired as Research Assistants or Associates on grants. See your Sponsored Project Administrator for details on that process.)
